Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
  • 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp good-quality whiskey

Toppings

  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup caramel sauce
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
  • Sea salt flakes, a pinch for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Cook bacon strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat, then chop into bite-sized pieces to add smoky crunch to the bark.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Base: Gently melt dark chocolate with butter or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Stir frequently to ensure a smooth, glossy texture without burning.
  3. Add Whiskey: Stir the whiskey into the melted chocolate, infusing it with warm, aromatic flavor without overpowering the base.
  4. Pour and Spread: Pour the chocolate mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading evenly to about ¼-inch thickness as the base for toppings.
  5. Drizzle Caramel and Arrange Toppings: Drizzle caramel sauce randomly over the chocolate. Immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows and chopped bacon over the surface while still soft to slightly sink the toppings.
  6. Add Sea Salt and Chill: Lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes on top to enhance the sweet-savory balance. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
  7. Break into Pieces and Serve: Once chilled and hardened, gently break bark into rustic pieces. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even melting and prevent chocolate from seizing.
  • Do not overcook bacon; crisp but not burnt bacon has the best flavor and texture.
  • Use premium chocolate and caramel for the richest taste and smooth finish.
  • Keep bark thickness balanced to snap easily yet hold toppings securely.
  • Chill long enough to avoid melting or soggy bark when cutting.
